The Ford Bronco has been sold since 1966, and the Ford Bronco 2021 was announced as the sixth-generation model in 2021, 25 years since the last generation's release.
Tamiya's design team have chosen to give R/C enthusiasts a replica of the best full-size Bronco variant. The R/C model assembly kit depicts the 2-door type's top grade First Edition model. The First Edition Bronco SUV is built for those who have waited patiently for the legend's return. The First Edition is a loaded Bronco combining the best parts of all Bronco series. First Edition Broncos use the mechanicals of a Badlands, the interior of an Outer Banks and the exterior of a Wildtrak to create the ultimate Bronco! Our designers have captured the very essence of the First Edition Bronco in every way possible!
- Its polycarbonate body recreates the modern SUV form in style, including the rounded headlamps and oblong taillamps.
- Comes with separate molded parts recreating roof rack, front grille, spare tire cover, and more.
- The model is based upon the shaft-driven 4WD CC-02 chassis.
- 12-spoke wheels are paired with block tyres.
- Includes LEDs
- Requires: 2-channel radio, steering servo, ESC (electronic speed controller), and 7.2 volt battery with compatible charger.
Pricing Note: We have priced this kit above, as we do the whole range, assuming that you will not require the standard ESC unit. If you would like the kit with the ESC included, simply add the Carson Dragster or Tamiya Hobbywing ESC from the drop down below - which adds £15-£18 to the total. Note also, Tamiya kits do not come shrink wrapped in the UK or Japan. The box sticker may state "ESC Included" whether you order it with or without this unit.
Options Explained
Bearing Upgrade: These make the car run more smoothly and are easily installed during assembly. If there is no option for these shown, then the kit already includes the bearing upgrade as standard. These are entirely optional.
Radio System: There is a choice of a TWIN STICK (Traditional) radio or a Steering Wheel (Modern) radios. All operate on 2.4Ghz and use the new Crystal-Free technology, so you can run multiple cars at the same time without any interference. All radios chosen from this page will include a steering servo as these are not included in the kit itself.
ESC: This is the connection between the radio system and the motor. You have several choices. Tamiya no longer make their own ESC, instead they supply from their facilities Hobbywing or Mstyle units. Where a model number is shown (e.g. 20 or 15) that is the motor capacity of the unit - the lower the number, the more powerful a motor you can install later. All work with the motor in the kit.
Battery: The higher the number, the longer the run time.
Charger: Charge time is proportional to the battery you choose. Some examples - for the 1800 battery (others will take longer) - USB charger takes around 4 hours, Mid Speed around 2 to 3 hours, Etronix Fast Charger can be as quick as 60 minutes in the house or 30 minutes in the car and Ansmann Delta also around 30 minutes (and also works in the car).
